Opus Dei

Saint John Paul II convoked the first Jubilee of Youth in 2000. It was the central event of the Great Jubilee of the Catholic Church, marking the 15th World Youth Day and bringing together more than two million young people from around the world.

The 2025 Jubilee is an invitation to open the windows of the soul to hope, forgiveness, and the future, under the motto “Pilgrims of Hope.” It’s not just for those traveling to Rome: all of us can live this “spiritual reset” by praying, forgiving, and sharing what we have received.

What if the real revolution starts in something invisible? The Beatitudes are eight ways of living that go against the current, but connect you with what’s most authentic in you: your capacity to love, endure, forgive, and build hope. They point to a kind of happiness that doesn’t depend on what you have, but on who you are.

The Prelate of Opus Dei gives thanks to God for the family spirit in the Work and invites us to pray for the upcoming Jubilee of Youth.
